I grew up and lived in New York city till last year when I got smart and moved out. I worked as a waiter, a food delivery guy and a taxi driver. Guess what race are the cheapest tippers? Thaaaat's right. Le Africans. I wouldn't even call them "cheapest" because that infers they leave a tip. No, they leave NO tip.
Taxi driving - just to even get them to pay the full fare was like pulling teeth. Why? For the reason I mentioned above. You ever hear how blacks complain that taxi drivers never pick them up? Actor Danny Glover was filed a lawsuit because of that, he couldn't get a cab in NYC. Well the reason cabs don't pick them up is not because they are afraid of getting robbed, or racism...It's because blacks do-not PAY! Simple! If the fare is $4.50 they'll give you $4.00. IF the fare is $7.00 they'll give you $6! And if you complain about it, they pull out the "R" card. "What do you mean $6 ain't good enough? You racist mofo!"
Blacks have been taught from an early age that they have to behave like victims, that they are owed everything because of slavery..that being on welfare and food stamps is a privilege because that money is owed to them. They have been taught by the likes of Sharpton and Jackson that being educated is “Acting White” and that they are “Uncle Toms” for going to college and having a career..they are taught that its OK to be gang bangers because they can’t achieve anything else in life..when a black youth kills another black youth its considered “Street cred.” Its a sad state of affairs, they are killing each other and are proud of it..since Trayvon’s shooting there has been over 500 murdered in Chicago, no protest march in their honor, no calls for justice..their crimes will go unsolved..no trial, no media pundits on TV demanding justice..Sharpton and Jackson won’t be marching in the streets for them..and why..because their murders don’t matter, they were killed by “Their own kind” therefore its all fine and dandy
I was in the Philippines recently and one cab driver said he really likes Americans. The reason, I think, is that when we were told the fare was 120 pesos ($3), we just gave them 200 pesos ($5). Apparently they hate Arabs because the Arabs try to barter the fare down.
Because so many foreigners were getting scammed, the Philippine government set up a system so certain drivers could pass an ethics exam and charge higher rates. Apparently some cab drivers will charge an American 4000 ($100) pesos for a fare that is normally 200 pesos.
I could have told him that; I used to be a waitress. I taught my son (and daughter) to tip well
